Okay, for those of you who haven't realized; the house and cottage in this story are the same house and cottage from the Flower girl series :) Emily and Henry are Dorothy's Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and Oscar's mother is the grandmother Dorothy mentions passing away in 'The Wicked Witch and the Scarecrow' :) The reason that Oscar lands near the cottage after escaping from Oz is because he was trying to get back home... okay, now that everything's clicking in your head let's carry on :P
Lunar Sunsets: If Dorothy was in Oz, yes. But, yeah... you'll get what happens next chapter probably. And yes, Boq is older :P
The Wizard Of Wicked: Aw, I'm sorry sweet :o I didn't mean to make you sad
Elphaba'sGirl: Creepy llama man? hahaha OMO that made my day :P
It was the night of the school's dance. Melena lay in Oscar's arms and he could smell the sweet apple smell her shampoo had left in her hair. She looked up at him and began to lean in to a kiss, the pairs lips were about a centimeter apart when she stopped
"I have to leave Oscar"
"What do you mean?" he asked "you just got here"
"I have to go, it's the only way we'll be safe. Read the note"
"The note? what note?"
"Just read the note Oscar" Melena left leaving Oscar by himself in the night
"Melena!" Oscar yelled waking from his sleep "Melena, please come back!" he looked around the room and calmed down a little, it had been a dream. Thank Oz! But upon closer inspection of the room however Oscar noticed that he was alone. He was in a different room altogether. How had he gotten here? the last thing he remembered was talking to Emily, he had looked up to the mirror and caught sight of a cloud of black behind him, he had gone to turn around but that was the last thing he remembered. Oscar soon realized he was in a hospital and began to panic, he looked to his side and saw a folded piece of paper on the table beside his bed. He opened it and read;
Oscar, my love.
By the time you read this you should hopefully remember who I am.
I have had to leave and return to Oz, It was the only way I could save everybody.
Look after Dorothy for me? I love you all, remember that
All my love
Melena.
No! Oscar swung his legs from the bed grabbing at the tubes connected to him. He was going to save her, he wasn't going to fail her again!
...
Larena and Highmuster were sitting on the couch in the cottage, neither knew exactly what to say. Oscar suddenly busted through the door, still in his hospital gown, sweat pouring from his forehead
"Oscar!" Larena yelled, jumping up from the couch "what in Oz are you doing?"
"Melena!" Oscar gasped between breaths "She- she went back" he took a deep breath to try and slow down his breathing "She's gone back to Oz"
Highmuster stood with a confused expression "But why?" he asked "people will see her, she's not safe there!"
Oscar held up the scrunched piece of paper in his hand "she wants us to be safe"
...
"Melena, Melena, Melena, Melena" Frex said, pacing the room and shaking his head "I gave you a good life, y'know. Showed you lots of love, never laid a wrong hand on you" he looked at her deviously, stepping forward and raising his hand briskly "does that need to change?"
"You wouldn't!" Melena sniped
"Don't tempt me!" Frex sniped in reply
"What happened to the taking away my memories thing anyway?" Melena asked bitterly
"Oh, don't worry, we'll get to that part!" Frex smirked, he ran his hand along Melena's cheek and looked down at her stomach "what happened?" he asked, his eyes saddened "where is my baby? what did you do to my baby?"
"I didn't do anything!" Melena growled, she didn't want Frex to know about Dorothy, she had to think quickly "I- I had a miscarriage" she said, looking to the ground
Frex spat at the ground beside Melena "You're worthless!" he whispered loudly in her face "what kind of woman can't hold on to a baby?" he turned and shouted to no place in particular "do it!"
...
"Well, well, well" Frex smirked "if it isn't Prince charming and his trusty sidekicks!"
"Let her go, Frex!" Oscar shouted "she's not really yours! you know that!"
"Oh, she will be" Frex snickered "as soon as I get rid of you!" he took out a book, flipped to a page and began chanting "Tatum Inga Marlo Ense Solum Partum eehum erla donte urlo pawre!"
Oscar, Larena and Highmuster looked around "Wow... great spell Frex" Larena smirked
"I'm not finished!" Frex shouted with an evil look, he flipped to another page in the book "Rena erla tumpo urnum relser norpo! send this man far away, back where he was yesterday!" Oscar suddenly disappeared and Frex walked up to Larena and Highmuster "now, to take care of you two!"
